May, the last month of the spring in Bucks, is also a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 85.5°F (29.7°C) and an average low of 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). An average temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) marks the nights in Bucks in May.

Heat index

In May, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
